New Grower TxRebel 1st grow Gelato from Fastbuds

I use cal mag and general hydroponics set. HOWEVER I’ve been following a gentleman by the name of Bill Ward on YouTube and I think I’m going to switch to his nutes.

Thanks I emailed oregonsonly to ask but figured here would be smart too. The nectar line I am assuming is gonna drop it cuz the sample only came with Olympus up but wondering between feedings??
And I know my water here sucks even though it’s a big city (Ft Worth,Tx) but has high amounts of stuff I sure don’t wanna drink so only drink bottled.
Since my soils 7.3 out the bag I am guessing plain water feedings shouldn’t give em 7.0 water right?

Yep, most places won't have issues, there's a couple places I've heard that can be that high. I remember hearing Scott on one of their videos saying if your water was that high to get in touch with them.

Might look at ro systems, for a couple hundred, you can take care of the plants, and stop buying bottled water too.

Early feeds are in the low 6s, this allows for the soil pH to drop as you increase pH of feeds thru the grow, everything kind of ballances.

I am only 1 week from seeds going in jiffy and have question about what’s best to use in organic soil grow?? Just wanna know what’s the best option for bringing ph down since my tap water is at 8.1ph and even distilled is 7.1!
Didn’t feed them the water but as a test I put 3 drops of apple cider vinegar with 1/2 bottle of water and dropped ph all the way to 4.2! In living organic soil whats my best bet??
Also should I still plan to use my Nectar for the gods nutes or save em and just get a soil recharge/ organic tea to feed em?? Also when should I plan to start feeding that to em??
@420Forever or @Arthur if you are around I would appreciate your feedback!
Thanks

yup, vinegar or lemon juice either one are great for natural ph down and fwiw, my shitty ffof soil has alwayz been 7.5, so i jus ph the water/feed to 6.0-6.2, with runoff ending up at 6.2-6.4 and hey, me was born & raized in ft worth but left 40 yrz ago & never went back, lol ppp

This is what it looks like after you move on from the sample...

Ya I think it was a really old post from 4-5yrs ago I saw u posting that pic of their nute collection and it was in that thread that I found out about the sample pack so BELATED THANK U @Arthur &thx @420Forever (where in funky town did u live?)
My LED was ordered on 9/14 and got email it was shipped out last night and gonna be here Thursday! Plus hydro store I got my soil from has a barely used 2x4x8ft gorilla tent (has 2ft extension vertically) that dudes selling me for $100 so gonna grab that tomorrow or Monday.

Also poured the small amount of water/ vinegar in with a half a gallon of distilled water I had left and gonna check the ph here in a few! Glad I snagged a ph20 Apera pen for $26 off amazon cuz it said was open box but was def brand new and is accurate...despite some people’s complaints on there that it wasn’t! Figured would be decent 1 to start with since already dished out lots of $$ so I wasn’t getting bunches of stuff I was gonna wanna upgrade after a grow or 2! Just add to it!

When should I plan on starting to feed them?? I know once I do ph will prob go down from the nutes. Oh and was it u that also posted the pic of the full feeding schedule for full line but with your own measurements in their for some of the amounts??

I don't think I've posted a schedule when in soil, I've spent the last year running it in coco. Am switching to their [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] soil for my next round, first part of October.

There's a few of us around that use the line.
As long as your in soil, somewhere around 2 weeks is about right to start feeding. If under led, you can add a little Demeters Destiny from the start, for us this is where the "cal/mg" comes from. Don't use a standard cal mag, its nitrate based, you'll turn the nutes into rock.

Questions, yell with the @, or send a message if I miss some time around here.
